Ah, Carrie. Have your submissions fallen victim to the ever-present stripper, too? So sorry! *grin* Take care.

They're missing? I put all 30 chapter titles on the appropriate pages by hand on Saturday morning, since the OCR program ignored them. I can't believe they're missing. Maybe it's that no-blank-line-at-the-top-of-the-page problem. Anyway, in my new version, there are blank lines at the top of each page including those pages with chapter titles, and there are page numbers at the bottom of each page, preceded by a blank line. I'll let you know when I resubmit the book, and if you would be so kind as to download it again, please let me know if the chapter titles are in the better improved version of HPATHBP. If not, I will have a word with Gustavo and the 2 of us will put a version with chapter titles on the db. Very frustrating! Carrie "Shelley L.

I tried to clean it up, but Gustavo said that there were a lot of people waiting for it, so I quick submitted it so he could approve it. I'm planning on making the copy pretty and re-submitting it this weekend, so it'll be better looking. Second, I got an email from someone in Argentina BEGGING me for a copy of the book. He swore he wouldn't print it or pass it on to anyone else. Yeah right! He is clearly well-educated, uses excellent English, but has no money for the book? Give me a break. Since only members can see my name as the submitter, a member must have shown him accidentally (or intentionally?) my name and email address. No, I'm not sending him a response of any sort, and I suggest that everyone else do the same if you get similar emails. My 2 cents. [BTW, Gustavo checked his name, and he's not a member.] Third, hi to everyone. Gustavo just put me back on the list today. Anything happen while I was gone the past month?

Secondly, even if someone viewed it essential first day reading, they had to know that Bookshare had it on day one. As most subscribers are cassual rather than inveterate users, they were (and probably still are not) aware of the availability. I believe that either Janice or Gustavo last week mentioed that BookShare has around 3,000 active user accounts; given that as a baseline, 260 in a little over a day represents nearly 10% which is an amazing number to retrieve anything. --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in t his incoming message.
